Weekend at One: UN Commission in South Sudan warns of a catastrophe in the war torn country

4th December, 2016

UN commission on human rights in south Sudan is warning that the world’s youngest country is on the brink of catastrophe.  The three-member commission was issuing a statement at the end of a ten-day visit to south Sudan. The chairperson of the commission, Yasmin Sooka, cited disturbing indicators such as an increase in hate speech, a crackdown on the media and civil society, deepening divisions between the country’s 64 tribes. Other factors are renewed recruitment in a country already awash with guns and the proliferation of armed groups aligned to both sides engaging in armed conflict. The commission says the stage is being set for a repeat of what happened in Rwanda noting that the international community is under an obligation to prevent it.
